Railpen

The Railways Pension Scheme is one of the UK's largest and longest established pension funds. RPMI Railpen is responsible for the safekeeping and investment of circa £25 billion on behalf of the scheme's 350,000 members who are connected to the railway industry. Our mission is to pay our members' pensions securely, affordably and sustainably. To achieve this we invest the scheme's assets to generate strong investment returns over the long term. Our members and their employers trust us with this very significant responsibility: our decisions and actions affect their future lives and wellbeing. We are proud of this responsibility, take it very seriously, and are committed to and passionate about improving their lives. Generating the required returns to achieve our mission is very challenging. To be successful we must constantly strive to be considered a world class asset owner by our stakeholders, with a proven track record of adding value for our members. This means we have to have excellent people doing exemplary work in every part of our business. Free of the constraints experienced by asset managers we use the size of our assets to invest wisely and influentially. Our convictions and a clear set of investment beliefs guide us through complex and changing markets. We're not afraid to think innovatively and act boldly, but we are also prepared to stand our ground and not follow the herd.
